__Day1__
Today I went to the North Dakota state Capitol. There was so much stuff to do we did not know where to start. We decided to go bilking. There were many awesome trials. We saw a lot of animals, like bird’s cats’ dogs and a huge bald eagle.

Then we wanted to see the governor’s house. The house is not that tall like Jim Doyle’s house. The house is very very long and wide. The yard was huge and green. There were many beautiful flowers. I wish I could live in that house!

Lastly we went to the cowboy hall of fame. They had many horse shape trophies. The also had live horses in the back that you could ride around. You would not believe how many pictures of riders there were. Today was the best day ever!

__Day 2__
To day I went to the Garrison Dam. I stopped here, because it is a historical site. Did you know that the Garrison Dam is the fourth biggest dam in the United States? One reason the dam was made is to make electricity. While I was there I went fishing. I caught a forty-inch Northern.

Next we went to the fort Lincoln trolley. While we were on the trolley we went over two brides. The creek underneath was so beautiful. The trolleys were made to look old fashion. They were green with wood seats. The ride was a five-mile ride.

Our last stop was the North Dakota hall of fame. The were many picture of famous people of North Dakota. There was some famous pictures and writing of North Dakotans. I thought this stop was boring so, I did not really pay attention to this place while I was there. The building was huge!

Day 3
Today I went to the ND hall of fame. You would not believe how many pictures there were in that building. Most of the pictures were of famous north Dakotan s. This stop I thought was boring so, we didn’t stay that long. It was kind of cool though.

Next we went to white butte. While we were there we went hiking in the mountain. I went here because it was the highest point in the state. We also went biking my brother fell off. It was funny; because when he fell he was laughing the whole time. While he was falling down the hill. I really liked this place.

Finally we went to the Theodore Roosevelt national park. We sat down and we watched deer for a long time. Some of the big bucks were fighting for the does. Then we went to explore the badlands. There were some cool rock formations. That night we went camping in the park. This day was a really fun day!

Day 4
Today we have four places to stop at. First we went to the writing rock. The writing rock is a historical rock, because it is believed that Native Americans rote on the rock. I am stopping at this place because it is a historical site. That rock is the largest rock I have ever seen! While we were looking at it the writing on the rock, I noticed that the writing looked like it was in blood. The carving was lightly carved in, we could barley see it.

Next we went to the Lost Wood National Park. I went to this place, because it is a national park. Today I was all excited to go to the lost wood park. While we were there we went on some hiking trails. While we were hiking there was a huge puddle of water, when I saw it I snuck up behind my brother and pushed him in. It was so funny, even my parents were laughing. After we went hiking I went bird hunting I shot five huge birds. I really loved this place.

Next we went to the city called Minot. We stopped in Minot because it is the fourth biggest city in North Dakota. While we were there we went to see an air force base. At the air force base there were many soldiers. We also ate at a subway, I had a delicious five-dollar foot long.

Lastly we went to the Knife River Indian Village. We took a tour inside the house mounds. They were huge. The day we were there, the village was having culture fest, and it was so cool. There was a lot of dancing and food. This was a really fun place

Day 5
Today our first stop was Jamestown, the buffalo city. While we were in Jamestown we went to a place where you can play disc golf. It was hard; I could not even hit the target. My dad won, I came in second. Next we went to see the largest living Buffalo. Its name is White Cloud. It is named that because it is white as a cloud. White cloud is the best!! Next we went to the Jamestown collage. It was huge. While we were there, there was a football game. We bought tickets to see the game. Both teams did awesome; Jamestown won thirty-five to twenty eight.

Our last stop was the city called Valley City. Valley city is called the bridge city, because of it beautiful bridges. Almost all the bridges were walk bridges. We went walking for a long time. The bridges were beautiful because they were right over the Sheyenne River. Lastly we went fishing in the Sheyenne. We caught a lot of fish, I caught the biggest. It was a twenty-inch walleye. This was an awesome place.

__Day 6__
Today we only have two places to stop at. Our first stop was Fargo; we stop here because it is the largest city in North Dakota. Did you know that Fargo was voted the cleanest city in America three years in a row!

While we were there we learned about their deer program. They have a program with deer because there is a big her in the city limits. We took this class so we could bow hunt the deer in certain areas. My dad and I got our licenses and went hunting. We both got nice big deer; I got a little six-point buck. My dad got a big six-point buck.

Our last stop was the Lincoln nine hole golf course. There was a nine-hole course and a kid’s six-hole course. My dad and I went on the nine hole and my brother and mother went on the six hole. My brother beat her, the game was close. My dad beat me by two points. That’s all for now. I had a really fun day!
